By Griff Hoffmann Rage is a technical powerhouse that is besmirched by its slight lack of diversity and seemingly rushed conclusion. The four years it took to bring Rage into existence were well spent by simply looking at the game. Jaw dropping detail and a frame rate that never lets up make for a visually stunning experience. The blemishes are an ever-present texture pop-in problem, though this becomes quickly forgettable since standing around doesn’t happen too much in Rage. The other problems are the half-baked multiplayer and sudden drop off of the main campaign. Rage is a surprisingly enjoyable game but just a few flaws keep it shy of perfection.

By Griff Hoffmann The future past is colored with black and gold. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a reverent prequel to the seminal conspiracy riddled series of the early 2000’s. Eidos Montreal hits the sweet spot missed in most prequels by both improving gameplay without making the previous tech seem obsolete. Not to say Human Revolution is without flaw but the world crafted and the player agency in it make for not just a fun game but and unexpected masterpiece.
